Answer:

Answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

Large numbers like 100 billion are cumbersome to write out in ordinary form (100,000,000,000) and so scientists use a shorthand notation called powers of ten. ... The exponent tells you how many times ten is to be multiplied by iteslf to equal the number you wish to write. For example, 100 can be written as 10x10 = 102.

Hope this helps!

The first three steps in determining the solution set of the system of equations algebraically are shown in the table. y = −x2 +

lianna [129]

You have a system of equations $\left \{ {{y = -x^2+2x-9} \atop {y =-6x+6}} \right.$ .

1. Substitude right side of second equation into the left side of the first equation: $-6x+6=-x^2+2x-9$ .

2. Solve this equation:
$x^2-2x+9-6x+6=0, \\ x^2-8x+15=0, \\ D=(-8)^2-4\cdot 1\cdot 15=64-60=4, \\ \sqrt{D}=2, \\ x_{1,2}=\dfrac{8\pm 2}{2 } =3,5$ .

3. Find y:
for $x_1=3, y_1=-6\cdot 3+6=-18+6=-12$ ,
for $x_2=5, y_2=-6\cdot 5+6=-30+6=-24$ .

4. The solutions of the system are: (3,-12) and (5,-24).
Answer: Correct choice is A.
